THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, JULY 15, 1826. [THE TIMES.] We do not know whether the subordinates of Mi nisters mean to go on still, vaunting their own fore sight, and exulting in the prosperity of the country, the thrifty state of manufactures, the activity of com merce, the vast returns of the revenue, and the light ness of taxation. They are welcome to do so, if they please: but we think ::even they begin to be sickened with their work ; at least, we know their masters are sickened at the real state of affairs. Our accounts from the city are so dolorous, that it is painful to us to publish them. We know how easy it is for maligw nity to attribute to us a wish for those evils which we are forced to describe ; as if we could possibly have an interest that was at variance with the, general welfare of the country ! We would, therefore, thank those who,are the habit of setting forth our vast ease and comfort, to specify what article of trade or manufac tinie is now flourishing. We say that they are, gene rally, in a dreadful state of depression, and that the artisans and labourers engaged in them are starving. If any, even one strong exception can be produced to this general rule, let it be brought forward, and we shall repeat it with pleasure. And then, as to the cause or causes of this misery—for it is useless to Moan over irremediable evils—what are they ? If we perish by the will of God, we have only to resign ourselves in patience. But if we perish by the crime or igno ranee of man, we have right to look for redress ; or, at least, to labour for a change. Cim those who have so pertinaciously upheld the extravagance of Govern ment point out any cause of the present general state of suffering, to which all the products of industry among us are subjected, but excessive taxation ? The world is at peace : the waves of the sea are open ; it is the ob ject of commerce, and it is the end of trade, to supply the wants of man. Not only the population of the world increases, and therefore the wants of its inha bitants, but limner' liberties increase ; every thing that can create a demand, and give facility to the execution of the demand, is in a progressive state of improve ment ; but we are retrograde ; our trade decreases— our commerce falls off—our manufactures are hi no request. What other cause but the oppressive weight of air extravagant Government can he assigned for these miseries ? no funds do not sink in proportion to other species of property, because it is Atli thought that distress has not yet driven our rulers to such a . . . pitch of knavery as to` induce them to defraud the cre ditors of the state. But necessity, produced by the absence of an honest and firm principle of retrench ment, will bring us thither at the last.—We have seen; one Minister so torn by the distractions of public bu- ; siness, to which his rind was not equal, that he sunk' in an improper way tinder them. Another, we hear, though hackneyed in affairs of state, has recently, changed his phlegmatic habits, and gives symptoms of untenal petulance and violence. In the mean time, has there been any retrenchment ? Scripture speaks of the folly of a man who began to build a house without first sitting down to calculate the expense thereof: how are the two palaces now building in St; James's Park to be paid for ? How are the expenses attending them to be defrayed ? We have heard that the one which is called the Duke of York's house, he being unable to bring it to a conclusion, has been bought, and is now to be finished for his Royal I ROl ness by Ministers, at the public expense ; and it is said is, La, some future day, to be eouverted into a national gallery? [THE MORNING HERALD.] Of all human beings, a Patriot by profession is the most difficult to please. if we are to have a dispute, give us a Tory—gives us a courtier, a churchman, a religionist, but save us from a red-hot patriot. He is constantly speaking of the services he has rendered his country, of the triumph of his principles and public virtue, yet he is often the greatest despot in existence. I So long as you flatter his vanity, report his speeches at full length, interlard them at every other sentence with " loud cheers ;", a immense applause ;" << deafen ing applause ;" and repreacnt him as the most vir tuous and patriotic of men, he will he on the beet terms with you, and even praise you for your discern ment. But if you find fault with him in any way whatever; if you do not place all his good qualities in the fullest light ; if you do not say that all eyes are turned towards him, and hundreds, and thousands, and hundreds of thousands are trusting to his indivi dual exertion ; that Government itself cannot go on without him—hi short, if you do not worship him as a god, and flatter him more than any other human being, he becomes your bitterest enemy, and will do every thing in his power, openly. or covertly, to injure you, No language can be too violent for his purpose —no punishment van equal the ()Once. The Majesty of the people has been dishonoured in his person, and the most' cruel and degrading punishment would hardly be regarded as an atonement. ' A patriot by profession, in fact, is the bitterest enemy, and the Most dangerous of human beings. No wonder that Ki ngs , and well-bred, people hate them. Their self sufficiency and abominable arrogance are ouch that a well-bred King, like George IV. would sooner come in contact with a coal-heaver than with a profesied patriot, whose energies are all on fire, and who, according to his speeches, has nothing in view, and disregards every other consideration but the good of the people. Woe to him who has patriot by profession for his patron I He will find little equality exemplified in his conduct—little hu manity, and few of those mutual kind offices and attentions which are the distinguishing marks of good breeding. He imagines himself the bead—the King of the people, and puts in practice that very system of Government which he reprobates as tyrannical and degrading. 'the histories of Charles I. and Lewis XVI. afford fine instances of the emuluet of those patriots, and of the cruelty and tyranny which they exercised on two men, whose. virtues at least were above mediocrity, and who exhibited in the bosom of their families a picture of domeetie happiness and peace, of which these patriots could hardly forty an idea. Cromwell, who began, his career by railing against taxation and tyranny, ended by leaving the Excise laws as a legacy to the people, and by exhi biting in his own person the model of a tyrant. To o many such instances might be adduced; but the arro. price, and violence, and aelf-aufliciency of these pro, fesimed atriots are even more offensive than their . , nconsts t o wy. For these reasons we prefer coming contact with a Tory. I leiv a better bred gentleman; he is less soured with disappointment ; he is ingre t h e way o f rece i v i ng; the good things in Church, and Mate, which the other a s eagerly pants after ; has no claims to exclusive gout! qualities, or to be, looked people ; and conse th up to as the only Itiend of (randy, has less of that vanity, that self-complaeency, ;hat acrimony, and vulgarity which render the red-hot patriot such a disagreeable enemy. The latter is too often soured by disappointment ; he despairs of ob taining places and pensions, and, as the last resource, joins the multitude, who flatter his vanity, impart, a little of their vulgarity, and render, him an unwelcome guest in every company where good breeding and gen tlemanly language are regarded as virtues. We have observed in some of the Country Papers lately, paragraphs stating that the leading manufactu rers have it in contemplation to apply to his Majesty's Government for a sum of money, to relieve the wants of the poor weavers, who are suffering so severely from the stagnation of trade. It is unfortunate, how ever, that the. Government can afford no relief. Time alone can provide a remedy. The great manufactu rers must leave off' work, 'and the warehouses, now so overstocked, must be nearly emptied, before we can expect an increased demand for goods, or such a rise of wages as will repay the operative weaver. The num ber of those who have invested their capital in the manufacture of cotton goods is by far too great. — Perhaps at this moment there are as many master ma nufacturers as there were operative weavers thirty or forty years ago, and every one of them has been stri ving, year after year, which shall bring the greatest quantity of goods into the market. Can there be any wonder, then, that there should be such a glut in the market ? We would dissuade such men from making, any application to Mr. Peel, or to any of his Majes ty's Ministers. The latter can do nothing for them. We would advise the manufacturers to remain at home ; to retire from business, such of them particularly -as have realized tontines, and spend their money among those unhappy people who have been reduced to their present condition partly by the overdoing of things on the part of their masters. Let such of them as have es tateslive ilium them, and employ these men in making improvements. Let them spend their incomes in giving work to as many as possible of those helpless people who were attracted to them at first sight by high wages, and the prospect of continued employ ment. These master manufactnrers acted, in fact, as loadstones. They attracted from town and country such numbers of men and women, that various trades were, in a manner, deserted. Those that remained obtained exorbitant wages, and in some departments of agriculture, as well us in the paving of streets, the building of houses, the making of roads and canals, we should have been without labourers at all, but for the peasantry of the sister island. This was not to be wondered at. Men that can gain a livelihood by the easy business of spinning and weaving, will not sub ject themselves to th e l a b o ur o f filling up valleys, levelling mountains, draining lakes, or breaking waste land. When, there is no demand for them, however, in the former species of employment, they must find out means of subsistence from these or other sources of labour. Any thing, in fact., ought to be preferred to a grant from Gruverninent ; (» to any thing like a continued relief from the public, without some return in labour be made for the money re ceived.—/bid. [THE sett c~stt PRESS.] It is expected that some specific measure will be proposed to Ministers by the manuflicturing interest, at the meeting of his Majesty's Council, which takes place next week, to consider the best means of reme_ dying the existing distress. We are not of opinion that merchants or manufacturers, or any class of men practically engaged in any paiticulur bitliknes.4, are the persons hest adapted to give advice respecting the proper method Of conciliating differences of interests in their own department. As to any proposition which maybe made, of adopting partial measures fin- this particular occasion, we should consider it eNtremely futile and short-sighted, if not pernicious in the ex treme. If it be possible to trace the distress of the country to the free trade system, and if it can be shown that this system will continue to operate in the sante way, the manufacturers should come forward at once, and denounce the system, not in their own de partment only, but in every department. Por our parts, we deny entirely the connexion of the distress with free trade as a system, and we even maintain that the re-enactment of the restrictive laws would increase the distress. The adoption of 'the free trade system was, no Liman, in part, the cause of the suffering in time manufacturing districts ; but it produced that effect, not from any thing in the system itself, but front the' tern porary excitement which arose in consequence of it.— rhis effect is similar to what we witness every day in common life. A man who has been, long confined fides not at first know how to use his liberty. The manufacturers, hastening to take advantage of the ex pected markets which were to be opened to them in consequence of' the free trade system, employed labour enough to supply the markets for two or three years instead of one ; and that excess of stock must now be disposed of, before employment can be obtained for L f their workmen in the same line. There was also, not many months ago, a groat abundance of capital, or rather of credit, in the country. That , capital or credit being, in fact, greater than, was necessary fir the supply . of .the different wants of the people, was employed m many cues in unprofitable speculations ; and thus again the market was overstocked with goods of all descriptions. A clearer proof coati not easily he adduced that mere labour is not wealth if not ern- ployed on things useful. if a map builds a house, he doevir, in the expectation or a profit- on his money superior to what be could obtain by placing it at in terest. The sum of money which he expends on it is, therefore, less than would he required to ob- taro an annuity equal to the rent of the house.- When the house is built, therefore, be may obta on its security a sum equal to that which heexpend ed upon it, and may from its rents pay both the in terest of his own money and that which he has since borrowed, and, perhaps, obtain a small 'profit be sides. Nothing prevents him with the borrow ed money from building another house ; and it is obvious, then, that he would have interest for his original money, and, at the same time, would enjoy the excess of the rents of both houses above the com mon interest which he could have had on his capital, Having two houses, he might borrow the value of the two, and might erect two others, and so on, in geo metrical progression, ad iyinitum, 'These houses are as much wealth as gold or silver ; and it is no won der if golden dreams have arisen from crude notions of dm sort. Unfortunately, houses are useless with out tenants and the speculators in building, would have do ne we ll if they had calculated more accurately the l"blibilities of the increase of populaiion.

However numerous the mistakes may be in other departments, it is here that the fault lies at present; and till something be done in this respect, by employing the labour of the poor and the capital of the rich in agricultural improvements, we see but two alternatives—emigration, or hopeless dependen c e on foreign countries.

We did not think any body, except, perhaps, the city people, so entirely stu pid as not to know the whole history of her Lady ship. There. is no reason, or no right, that persons of her starve; an d she, beyond question, condition' s ' e 4 i i i ° ti l t l ied shod to every sympathy. and assistance psible ; but, if we are, called up on to ass i st 'h er as a possible Chancellor's widow, we must recollect how that Chancellor got possessed of her, and call to mind, perhaps, her general character and conduct—de vari ous tricks he played about her—his petticoat ad4n tures—his divorce scciieshis dotage, irhbecility,, and absurdity, throughout. An evening paper yesterday says— "In the Mansion-house report, in our paper of to-day, is some further account of proceedings taken °wan application from the widow of Lord Erskine. The whole fakir is painful, under any representation, as calling to mind the errors and misfortunes of a ?non to whom the country has reason to be grateful. But it is just to Lord EiSkine's friends to call to mind that one part of the statement first mule at the Mansion-house iii incorrect, either through the fault of the reporter or the applicant. The impres sion produced by that statement is, th4t the applicant was living happily with Lord E. up to the time of his death. The con trary is notoriously the case. Lord E. not long before his death, wished to procure a divorce, in which, however, he failed." Why, or wherefore, the comAy has reason to be cc grateful" to Lord Erskine, is a question which we shall not stop to discuss. We agree entirely with Mr. John Cant Hobliouse, in rating that person at the lowest rate possible; bus we beg leave to re mind the Paper from which ive° quote, that Lord Erskine failed in procuring a divorce from the lady now before the public, only br.,cause he thought fit to retract all his own charges against her, and that too in a speech made most irregularly in one of the Ecclesiastical Courts. If we wished to revive old stmies, we might tell some' . strange things; but we do not think that time. private; life of ,public men is a fair subject for newspaper animadversion iu times so nearly approaching our own. If the last of th e Whi g 'Chancellors had been a Tory, we should have been long since favOnred with all his foibles, in prose and verse.

BOW-STREE'r.......Tb e o ffi ce was much crowded yesterday morning, chiefly by naval and military officers' in rtmaequene s of the expected re-examination of Lieutenant Kenny, who, as w e have already stated, stunts charged with the wilful murder of Mr. Charlton, the surgeon of the Hon. Company's ship the Bussoraii, on the passage home from Hensel. Mr. Kenny was brought from the House of Correction in a coach, in the custody of Jones, the jailer, and placed i n a privat e room, under the care o f L angley, t h e D ea l constable. He scented, as b e f ore , ill an d depressed. It was stated th at Mr. 'Oakes, the second officer of th e B las° - rah, who, it will b e remembered, is a very material witness; wax absent, anti that he had not been since the first day's examination.' It is rather a singular circumstance that Air. lakes came on Tues day, with Ilishop and Langley, and the prisoner, to the office, and was in attendan‘ until within a few ' me ats of the coma"' ment of the examination, when he was eaflod, but did not answer. Search was made in the Deighbou'imotir Out 41. r. Oakes , leas'aot to h►e found. Bishop said hp had enjoined hfr..oakes not to go away, and he could not account for his absence'. In the course of the morning a gentlenian in deep mtiunlidg, who stated himself to be the brother of the deceased Mr. Charlton, introduced himself to Sir It. thaw, and requested to be allowed to look at the depositions, in order that he might be the better able to judge whether or not the case was of a nature, to make it im perative upon him to itroseciite Mr. Kenny. ,• 1 . Sir R. - BtINZF. said he should have great pleasure in acceding to the request, and told Mr. Charlton if he would step into a private room the clerk would show him the depositions. Mr., Charlton having read the depositions, returned to the public Office, and said to Sir R. Birnie'that the conduct pursued in the matter appeared to him to be highly culpable, and be should cer tainly feel it his duty to have the case thoroughly i nv estig a t e d. Sir R. Baiting said he perfectly agreed with Mr. Charlton as to the neeeissity of a full investigation. He had no hesitation in stating, as his own opinion, that taking all the extraordinary eir.. cumstancei of the ease into consideration, the going to fight in the dead of night without seconds, and the determined spirit of hostility which. appeared to , have been manifested, the crime amounted to wilful murder. If Mr. Charlton made up his. mind to' become the prosecutor, he: (Sir R. Birnie) would issue sum monses to procure the attendance of all the witnesses on a future day, and if any eft.heni neglected co obey that mandate, he would send warrants to Ore diem into Custody. Charlton Said he certainly would proseeute, and took a seat' to . Wait 'until the conclusion' if the day's buSiiiesS,'' in case Mr. Oakes should make his aOpeartitree. Ina few minutes, however, 'a message was brought tb him from Lieutenant Kenny, requesting an interview,' Mr. Charlton anti another brother immediately went to the private room, and the meeting was really affecting. Mr.: Kenny, the moment lie saw the Messrs. Charlton, burst into team; and • grasping their hands, stood for ,solve moments unable to speak. At length he expressed, in terms which did honour to hit feelings as a gentleman and a Christian, the deep regret he felt at the melancholy occurrence which had occasioned their meeting. He spoke of the deceased in the most affectionate terms, and said that he must 'have been under the influence of temporary nastiness to have lifted his hand against him. " Would to Cod !" said Mr. Kenny, " that I had been the victim instead of your estimable brother." He went on to state, that having both drank' very freely on the unhappy night in queaion, some words arose, and Mr. Charlton said something which he con ceived conveyed a reflection upon his honour, and in the madness of intoXication he insisted upon immediate satisfaction—a step, he assured the Messrs. Charlton, the recollection of which would embitter the remainder of his days. After this interview the opinion of Mr. Charlton seemed to hi!ye. undergone 4, considerable change as to the necessity 'Of a prosecution. lh requested' that Sir It. Birnie' would allow hint a little time to consult his Solicitor upon the subject. Sir It. BIUNIE stud he would give him any time he chose ; and finally it was determined that Mr. Kenny should be remanded until TnesdaY next, and in the mean time Mr. Charlton will de termine whether or not he will prosecute. BARBAROUS MURDER.—The neighbourhood of Ball's-bridge Was yesterday evening the scene of another atrocious murder. The wretched culprit is a man of the name of Murray, who lived in the lodge of Mr. Dawson, of Dawson-park, near the Botanic Garden; the unfortunate victim was his wife. As there ortis'ntiexakiination of the guilty man last night, we are ignorant of the circumstances that led to the commission of this horrid crime. All : we know is,that a gentleman of the name of Archer hap pened: to be ‘ passing at the time, and attracted by th e cr i es o f th e unfortunate woman, he rushed into the halge, where he found her a mangled corpse.. He immediately armed himself with a bayonet that was in the place, and kept Murray a prisoner, while igorination was sent to College-street Police-office. On the intel .. ligOnee reaching the offiee, two officers were despatched to the place, and Murray was brought into town a prisoner about eleven o'clock last night. Some of the wounds were inflicted, with an, adze, and 'some of them with a heavy oak stick which is ,now in the •police-office. It appears to us to he the handle of some carE peuter's instrument, probably the adze, with which the first wounds!, were inflicted.—Dublin Paper. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. PPTITIONS IN . THE COUNTRY.
